Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another but let him work diligently and build one for himself thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.

The violence betwen women is unbelievable. Women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding.

So instead of talking about theoretical ways of ending the war and violence I say that we have to get rid of the individual asholes in each office and situation.

Suicidal violence is not the exclusive property of the Muslim world. Suicide bombings were a tactic of nationalist struggles in 19th-century Europe and Russia the far east during the second world war and the Vietnam war and in modern Sri Lanka.

But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.

These days our senses are bombarded with aggression. We are constantly confronted with global images of unending escalating war and violence.

Here we will solve with laws and dollars problems that too many people around the world still must solve with violence and civil war.

War will disappear only when men shall take no part whatever in violence and shall be ready to suffer every persecution that their abstention will bring them. It is the only way to abolish war.

War - An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy to accomplish our will.

Violence does in truth recoil upon the violent and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.

Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

Now the first step has to be taken the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still we will have no chance of escaping the violence.

If a movie isn't a hit right out of the gate they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy.

Computer games tend to be boys' games warlike games with more violence. We have not spent enough time thinking through how to encourage more girls to be involved in computing before coming to college so they can see a possible career in information technology.

It's always difficult to play a scene of physical violence because you're always afraid that you don't know your own strength and might hurt someone.

Football is violence and cold weather and sex and college rye.

Wrestling is ballet with violence.

I think that when we have a better educated society when there is less violence in our cities when people get back into the workforce and have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families - that for me really is the kind of success and the kind of America that I think most of us still want we aspire to.

My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.

Drama lives on conflict. If you're trying to deal with social issues seriously there's no way of avoiding violence which is so present in society.

You just let your lower self go and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing the people yelling things at each other and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music and that's what this is.

How a society channels male aggression is one of the greatest questions as to whether that society will survive. That's why I am not against violence in the media I am against the glorification of immoral violence.

I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.

The most important element of a free society where individual rights are held in the highest esteem is the rejection of the initiation of violence.

Violence against women in all its forms is a human rights violation. It's not something that any culture religion or tradition propagates.

You can't write about the past and ignore religion. It was such a fundamental mind-shaping driving force for pre-modern societies. I'm very interested in what religion does to us - its capacity to create love and empathy or hatred and violence.

First of all my persuasion is what really breeds violence is political differences. But because religion serves as the soul of community it gets drawn into the fracas and turns up the heat.

Zionism was originally a rebellion against religious Judaism and the PLO Charter was essentially secularist. But because the conflict was allowed to fester without a resolution religion got sucked into the escalating cycle of violence and became part of the problem.
